Eve Meryl Schooler is an American computer scientist who works for Intel as a principal engineer, and as director of emerging internet of things networks in the IoT Group. She is known for her work on internet standards for distributed computing and multimedia, [1] [2] and in particular as one of the designers of the Session Initiation Protocol; [3] her work also involves fog computing and edge computing. [4]
Schooler majored in computer science at Yale University, working there with Josh Fisher in the early 1980s [5] and graduating in 1983. [2] In 1988 she earned a master's degree at the University of California, Los Angeles, working there with Leonard Kleinrock on distributed debugging. [5] She completed a Ph.D. at the California Institute of Technology in 2000, with the dissertation Why Multicast Protocols (Don’t) Scale: An Analysis of Multipoint Algorithms for Scalable Group Communication on multicast communication, supervised by K. Mani Chandy. [5] [6]
Meanwhile, she had been working as a software engineer since 1983, and from 1988 to 1995 worked in the technical staff of the Information Sciences Institute of the University of Southern California. [5] It was in this time that she developed Multimedia Conference Control, one of the multimedia systems that formed a key predecessor to the Session Initiation Protocol. After completing her doctoral studies at Caltech, she became a researcher at AT&T Labs Research from 2001 to 2003, and it is under this affiliation that the Session Initiation Protocol was published. [5]
After a year as a consultant, she moved to Intel in 2005, and has been a principal engineer there since 2008. [5] Her work there included developing multicast extensions for the RTP Control Protocol, published in 2010. [2] Her position as director for Emerging IoT Networks began in 2018. [5]
With Stephen L. Casner, Schooler received the 2020 IEEE Internet Award, "for distinguished leadership in developing standards for Internet multimedia, and formative contributions to the design of Internet multimedia protocols." [2] [7] Schooler was named an IEEE Fellow, in the 2021 class of fellows, "for contributions to multimedia protocols and internet standards". [1]
